Sarah quietly made her way into Jackie's bedroom. That was odd, she could have sworn Jackie and Matt had run right in here, but she couldn't find them. She sat down upon the bed at await their return and spent her time looking around her and observing her surroundings. She had done that very thing in Philadelphia, but after the first hundred years the same surroundings were getting a bit boring. Here, this was a brand new place to look at and so many new things to observe. She noticed things like her mother putting clothes in the drawers and the sun making different shadows on the floor. At least SOME things hadn't changed too much over the years. She got up and walked over to the window, looking out upon the backyard of the house. My goodness, whatever did a person DO in such a gigantic place?! It certainly was quite lovely, but it was so big.
After quite a while, a large pink light that seemed to be coming from the computer nearly blinded Sarah Oh, dear, was something wrong? Dear Lord she certainly hoped not, what could SHE do?! Not only could she not even turn it on, she couldn't even TOUCH it, and it was far too big to use her powers. ! She had to shield her eyes to avoid becoming entirely blind as the light grew brighter and brighter with every second.. Just then she saw Matt and Jackie coming right out of the light. She stood there for a moment stunned beyond belief. They looked at each other and gave one another a high-five.
"Alright, we did it, Mattster!" Jackie said.
"Whew, and Motherboard is safe again!" Matt said.
Sarah made herself visible just then and walked to Matt and Jackie. "Matt? Jackie?"
"Hi, Sarah," Jackie greeted.
"Jackie..how did you DO that?!"
"Do wha..." Jackie said before her gaze travled to the computer. "Oh..you mean THAT.."
"Uh..see..."Matt began shakily.
"Well," Jackie said. "See..Matt and I..and our friend Inez..you remember her?"
"Of course I do."
"Well..you see..the computer..remember I told you it was made up of wires and switches?"
"Yes."
"Well, the switches and wires make up things we call cybersites in the computer. Remember how I showed you how I was able to send an instant message to Inez?"
"Yes."
"I'm able to do that because of cybersites on the web. The phone lines help form them. Basically everything in the computer is grouped into many different cybersites. There's a horrid villan called Hacker and he wants to own all the cybersites and get power over ever computer. Matt, Inez, and I were chosen to go into the computer and stop him. Mother board, the one in charge of all the cybersites, has given us this power. Whenever we are summoned by Motherboard, we can enter the computer."
"Is that true?"
"Yeah, it is."
"Wow..how does that feel exactly?"
"Well, at first it felt kind of weired. Almost as if you were flying. Then you see all these numbers flying past and you realise you ARE flying quicker than lightening. And THAT is a rush."
"Rush?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, that's another word for a lot of fun."
"Oh."
"I bet after hearing all this the war is pretty boring."
"Oh, I don't so, Matt. I bet Sarah's got a LOT of great stories to share about the war, right Sarah?"
Sarah smiled to herself. " As a matter of fact, yes I do. Would you like to hear about Molly Corbin?"
"You mean Molly Pitcher?"
"Molly Pitcher?"
"Yeah, that's what we called her. You mean you actually met her?"
"Oh, yes, she was no doubt one of the nicest, sweetest women I have ever met.It was when James and I went to see George Washington fight a battle, but me being a woman I was not allowed to go down to the actual battlefield. I had to go to a place called Fort Trion where the other women and younger children were. I was still a bit snobbish and didn't know how to do quite a few things yet, such as wash clothes. Molly helped me so much. She was filed with perkiness and her eyes never stopped smiling. Despite the fact that we were in the middle of a big feirce war, she kept her head up and a pleasent demeanor about her. Oh, I loved talking to her. She made me feel welcome, despite the fact that I was still a Loyalist."
"When exactly did you convert?"
"Well, do you mean when I realised I was an American Patriot, or when I chose to finally accept that about myself? I think I was a Patriot, deep down for a long, long time but I could never bring myself to accept the fact that I had changed. It wasn';t until I wanted to go home to England that something happened that made me finally admit to myself I had changed."
Matt leaned forward. "Tell us, please?"
